Chapter 49: Orc Enslavement

Rod and the other three arrived before the female orc, Amy.

It seemed Hera had given special instructions; at this moment, she hung suspended in mid-air, eyes rolled back, having fainted.

"Orcs have poor mental resistance?"

"Not really, only slightly better than humans. Orcs are very easily charmed, but once they awaken a spiritual technique called 【Will to Fight to the Death】, it increases significantly."

Tally clutched Rod's arm to claim sovereignty, warily shoving Vivian aside.

"I see."

Rod hesitated not a moment, smoothly imprinting the Nu Yi Zhou seal upon Amy.

【Slave Target 5: Amy Lei Ting】

【Race: Orc】

【Age: 13】

【Obedience: 46】

【Evaluation: Amy's physique is considered a malnourished deformity among orc tribes, so she was often bullied in the past until she found a cleaver made from an extraterrestrial meteorite. Note: The age of adulthood for orcs is 10; please enjoy with confidence.】

Rod gazed at her height, nearly two meters.

Thirteen years old?

Malnourished?

What kind of muscle monsters are you orcs, exactly?

"Hehe."

Tally sneered from the side.

An orc. No competitiveness whatsoever.

She began to suspect her master did it on purpose, just to stir up her jealousy.

Pan Ni inexplicably felt a sense of sorrow for the rabbit that dies and the fox that mourns, while simultaneously rejoicing that she was finally not the lowest-ranking member.

As for Vivian.

She stared expressionlessly at Rod's back; no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing that Amy would not wake for some time, the group.

Came to the edge of the Dark Cage.

Even though the Shadow Mage was already dead, his spell had not yet dissipated; the witch continued to drain her mana within the cage.

Rod could feel her aura gradually weakening.

"Pan Ni, is there a way to break it?"

"I am not very skilled in shadow spells; perhaps if we wait a bit longer, it will disappear on its own?"

"Can you be a bit more professional?" Tally retorted.

"Sorry. My spell talents are almost entirely in summoning and corpse poison."

Rod drew the 【Sacrificial Body Sword】 and swung it forward.

The blade passed through without the slightest obstruction; the dark cage, like air, had no physical form.

The notch on the sword blade was gradually healing; this sword could continue to accompany him.

"What about you, Tally? Shadow spells or what?"

"Actually, shadow spells are merely a subcategory of shadow arts. If a true Night Elf were present, perhaps there would be a way."

Pan Ni looked at her in confusion: Aren't you a Night Elf?

"Then let's force it. Try using the 【Scythe-Claw Reverse Blade】's mana special attack."

"Okay~"

Tally swung her massive scythe-blade; as it passed, the dark cage clearly exhibited unstable fluctuations.

"Good, continue."

Quickly, after dozens of swings, the mana of the dark cage finally collapsed, vanishing rapidly into the air.

The witch, Dimia, consequently fell down.

Her eyes were tightly shut, obviously in a coma; a huge bloody hole marred her abdomen, her aura was extremely weak, and she looked as though death was not far off.

The thought of using the Nu Yi Zhou flashed through Rod's mind.

But he quickly dispelled it.

A villain is one thing, but enslaving a friendly witch with a background would bring trouble no less than the Yige Sect.

However, pinching the other's baby-fat cheeks in the meantime was no problem.

"What's with that? Do you like round faces?"

Tally removed her mask, conjuring baby fat.

"What matters is the contrast, understand, Tally? A young, childish face paired with a mature body."

"A mature face paired with a childish body, is that not allowed?"

"Um, not really."

"I get it. What matters isn't the contrast; what matters is the mature body."

Rod thought seriously for a moment, yet found he did not know how to refute her.

After the sixth-tier big brothers fell, the Brotherhood's small soldiers immediately scattered in all directions.

Next, only the work of tallying the spoils remained.

After Tally roughly sorted everything.

The cash income was a pitiful 300 Jin Along.

Of these, 299 came from the Shadow Mage's spell satchel; the Brotherhood members present, including the half-werewolf Cassidy, could barely scrape together a single Jin Along in their pockets.

"Is this some otherworldly Beggar's Sect? This Ruin Brotherhood?" Rod said helplessly.

As for Amy.

She had a ghostly spell satchel.

Most likely Bishop Yuguozhu was a wealthy man, but unfortunately, the Scorpion Woman Hera had not yet brought back his corpse.

In short, there was a loss in cash.

But fortunately, the items made up for it.

The Shadow Mage's staff, spell record book, a series of magic potions, and two sixth-tier magic rings.

The half-werewolf Cassidy possessed two spiritual arts.

One was 【Swift Shadow Dash】, a speed-oriented skill.

The other was 【Gravity Chains】, which slowed the enemy's speed.

Surprisingly, Cassidy even had a piece of mithril, a quite rare metal on the continent.

There was also a pile of small items; Rod, finding it rare to examine them one by one at this moment, simply stuffed them all into the spell satchel.

However.

For Rod, the greatest gain was still the enslavement of the orcs and ghouls.

The bonuses from these items and spell books were ultimately limited; the Nu Yi Zhou remained his foundation.

About half an hour later, Hera tossed down Bishop Yuguozhu's head.

There was no spell satchel.

"He self-detonated; I couldn't even stop him," Scorpion Woman Hera said, shrugging her hands.

Rod hurriedly thanked this eighth-tier expert.

But she clearly had other matters to attend to and left soon after.

Not long after the Scorpion Woman left, David, taking advantage of the night, led a group of constables and soldiers here.

Even though he had prepared himself, when he saw the scene of the battlefield, he was still startled.

He and the sergeant beside him stared at each other in silence.

"Rod, am I too late?"

"You could say that, but you could also say just in time; you just saw my victorious figure."

"Go to hell."

Immediately, he realized the person before him was a warrior capable of defeating a sixth-tier opponent.

He said dejectedly, "You won't beat me up, will you, Rod?"

"Of course not."

The two chatted for a few moments.

David spoke seriously: "Thank you again for saving Shi Ying Town, Mr. Rod. Without you, no one knows what would have happened."

"It is not solely my achievement; the partners in the forest contributed greatly."

Vivian had already taken Amy and returned to the forest first.

Penny's appearance was terrifying, and she should have returned as well, but the Tree Spirit drove her away, claiming the rotting corpse poison on her body would affect the trees; therefore, she could only wait alone outside the forest for Rod's summons.

"Of course, I have heard everything, including that eighth-tier my lord. I will report all of this truthfully to the City Hall; I believe they will strive for the due rewards from the Kingdom."

The battlefield was not a closed-off area; after Shi Ying Town's defeat, scouts were immediately dispatched to observe, so naturally, it could not be hidden from everyone.

Tally stepped forward, with the witch Dimia on her back.

"My lord Dimia!"

David hurriedly ordered two female soldiers to catch her.

"Additionally, regarding this attack on Shi Ying Town, besides the Ruin Brotherhood, there was another organization."

Rod pointed to a head on the side.

"Who is this?"

"I do not know him, but I can confirm he is from the Yige Sect."

"The Yige Sect again!" David roared angrily.

As the territory of the Argyle family, the opposing Yige Sect naturally had corresponding propaganda.

Therefore, the residents of Shi Ying Town hated the Yige Sect very much.
